Isabelle M Gallegos, 81, died peacefully on May 20, in her son’s home in Cheyenne. Isabelle was born August 10, 1936, to Benardino and Martina Trujillo. She grew up across the street in Fort Collins from the man she would later marry and build her life with, Paul Gallegos.
Her greatest joy was being a wife and mother, following her sons’ activities and sports. She loved all music, playing her guitar and singing, and was an avid sports fan. Isabelle worked 27 years as a PT assistant at Mt. Towers and enjoyed caring for others. She was an active member of Post 93, American Legion Auxiliary, and was a member of the Assembly of God church in her younger years.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Paul Gallegos, her parents, and three sisters—Lupe Malacara, Frances Valerio and Benardina Trujillo.
She is survived by one brother, Louie Trujillo, her five sons-- Gerald (Jill), Paul (Kathy), Sam, Daryl (Dean), Dan (Kim), eight grandchildren, nine great grandchildren, and two great, great grandchildren.
Per Isabelle’s request, a Beth El graveside services will be held on Tuesday, May 29, at 10:00 am. A celebration of her life will follow from 12:00 to 4:00 pm at the American Legion Post 6.
